== Welcome to WEBDIR

  Webdir is a simple webinterface to upload and maintain files on a webserver

  

== QUICKSTART

  * Create a VirtualHost or start the server of the webdir rails application

  * Create the User's webdirfiles directory and configure at the bottom of 

    config/environment.rb

    

  Create a Userdir example:

    mkdir -p /home/USERNAME/files/webdirfiles

  

  optional at user creation:

    htpasswd -c /home/USERNAME/files/webdirfiles/.webdirusers admin

    htpasswd /home/USERNAME/files/webdirfiles/.webdirusers other_users

  If optional steps not done the user is able to log in as user admin

  with password admin for the first time and will be redirected and 

  forced to change the password.

  

  

  IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH AUTHENTICATION ON AN APACHE/FASTCGI INSTALLATION

  READ http://iboard.cc/postings/93

  

== CONFIG AND USAGE NOTES

  webdir will not create the files-directory for a new user.

  Sysadmin must

    mkdir USER_HOMES/USER_HTML_DIR/webdirfiles

    chown apache USER_HOMES/USER_HTML_DIR/webdirfiles

    

  Where USER_HOMES and USER_HTML_DIR is defined in environments.rb such like

  

  USER_HOMES = "/mnt/raid1/Users"

  USER_HTML_DIR = 'files'

   

  This config will search files in: /mnt/raid1/Users/USERNAME/files/webdirfiles

  where USERNAME is the name given at the address of

  

  http://your.server.somewhere/USERNAME

  

  USERNAME will be stored as cookie and webir will search for a file named

  /mnt/raid1/Users/USERNAME/files/webdirfiles/.webdirusers

  which is a standard htpasswd-generated file.

  

  if .webdirusers will not be find the first-time log in will be 

  

  admin/admin

  

  You have to change the password admin to something more secure or will not

  be able to leave the 'set password form'.
